Church Holds Services for Remains of Aborted Fetuses

This is triggering a good deal of angst and anger on the Pro-Abortion side of the fence, but it seems absolutely appropriate to me. Especially since this has been going on for a long time without any publicity.

A Catholic church plans to bury the ashes of as many as 1,000 aborted fetuses Sunday, raising a storm of protest from those who accuse it of exploiting the pain and grief of women for political purposes. The Sacred Heart of Mary Church obtained the ashes from a mortuary that had a contract to cremate remains from the Boulder Abortion Clinic. But the clinic said it didn't know the ashes were being given to the church. "They have taken it upon themselves to make a macabre ritual out of this, inflicting pain on everyone," said clinic director Dr. Warren Hern. "I have women calling me who are very upset over this. These fanatics simply cannot leave other people alone with their most intimate sorrow."

And we should consider that these are human remains, and thus should be treated with some level of dignity... or at least health consideration.
